Founder
Chris Valentine.
Operator since two-thousand-two.
Chris has been founding software companies since two-thousand-two. He incorporated RdyGo LLC in 2020 to consolidate two decades of consulting work into a single operating vehicle, and is now transitioning it into a software holding company that builds and owns its own products. PulseAugur (2026) is the first.
Before RdyGo's holding-company phase, Chris spent a decade as CTO of Quadshot Software, where his team shipped OpenTickets to 50,000+ sites and ran the Buzz Media publishing platform at roughly a billion users. He then joined Mighty Proud Media as Principal Engineer, where The Mighty grew 0 → 3M registered users with zero paid marketing during his tenure.
Believes hope is not a strategy.
